Abstract (en)

[origin: US6067807A] A refrigerant management system for use in an absorption cooling and heat machine that includes a holding tank for storing a given amount of refrigerant that is bled from the refrigerant supply line for bringing refrigerant from the evaporator sump into the evaporator header. A return line is located in the top of the tank which returns refrigerant from the tank to the sump when the tank is filled. A drain line containing a control valve is located in the bottom of the tank which, when opened, rapidly discharges the contents of the tank into the sump when the system demands additional refrigerant.
